Hunt for 5 new weapons... but beware, the Sandsea desert is under a heat wave warning. Stand in that blazing sun, and you will start taking damage. If I were you, I would fill up with water bottles before going out into the desert. The desert heat will make you faint. You should also consider activating a checkpoint -- a blue stone floating atop a pedestal. You'll see them in safe areas across the desert.
Activating a Check Point will enable you to return to its location on the chance that you do faint in the desert.
Beat the Heat with Water Bottles and Moglinade
Bobby B knows you shouldn't stay out in the sun too long without a refreshing drink, so he's got some Water Bottles for sale that will temporarily help you beat the heat. Fahad and Dahlia have stocked up on water bottles too so you can get refills on your quests. If you're up for a challenge, Bobby could also use your help in creating Moglinade, a potion that keeps you hydrated for longer than a regular water bottle. Finish the quest to make sure Fahad and Dahlia are stocked up on Moglinade too!
Revisit Simmi-Tar's shop to craft five new weapons.
Sand Doom Staff
Sandsea Skewer
Sand Shark Reaper
Sand Doom Staff
Scarab Pincer Claws
Note: Mastercraft versions of these items will be released for crafting in a future release!
Weapon Crafting Materials
Sandestine Alloy - You already learned how to create this powerful alloy from helping Craig the Intern at Nigel's Office. Return to complete his daily quest "More Sandestine Alloy" to craft more.
Bastion Bucks - Yup! "Keeping the Aquifer Clean" for Paul DeRonn is the best way to earn a quick 100 bucks. Simmi-Tar also will also pay you 80 bucks for "Scouting Some Weapon Parts".
Monster Materials - Each weapon's design is inspired by a different desert creature so they each need materials from that creature. Head back out to the desert... or perhaps you've been saving them up from previous quests.

There is a missing delivery, a missing person, invading foes, and who knows what else... you'll find out on your way to level 33!
Meet Skiffmaster Squint
You want that magic lamp? The only way you're going to get it is to take a sand skiff out to the pyramids. That's where Skiffmaster Squint comes in. He's the luckiest skipper in the Sandsea. Well, he was until his first mate ran off with his lucky compass. Retrieve the compass and the kid, and he'll get you safely to the pyramids.

Simmi-Tar is now selling weapons for cold hard gold coins, but he'll also whip up something fancy for some Bastion Bucks and bits of monsters you killed in the desert.
Also... If you enjoy learning history and lore, Nigel Fuzzybum knows of some lost Sandsea scrolls that may have a clue to your quest for the magic lamp.
The new Sandsea desert is the largest area in AdventureQuest!
Last Chance
We will be removing Mogloween/Mystcroft and Talk Like a Pirate Day seasonal content with next week's release to make room for upcoming seasonal releases.
Thank you & coming next...
Beware the Sandsharks! We hope you love this new (bigger, better, longer) release in AdventureQuest 3D. The healer class is coming soon (it is going up for testing shortly). So is Dage's birthday event, and the continuation of his saga where we will encounter the "assassin" Zhoom, the eternal Sekt, ride the Sandskiff, and step inside those treasure filled pyramids.
Dinner's over... ready for DESERT!
Battle on! Artix, Glisel, and the AdventureQuest 3D Team
Hooper is waiting for you in Yulgar's Inn! ('Cause we ran out of room on the bridge in town.) He and his tin foil hat are back to enlist anyone on his egg hunt that will listen to him. And if you get the ear rewards... you will be able to hear loud and clear!
Have a seat and listen to Hooper's wild story about the elusive Grenwog before heading back out into the world to hunt for those frogzard eggs.

How do you find the eggs!?
The only clues for this challenge are the names of the eggs themselves. If you are having trouble figuring it out, ask the other players or check the player-run wiki.
The Egg hunt is on!
There is still time to get in on this year's April Fool's stuff. Players are spawning Gimmics and running live events in game. We are keeping as many AdventureQuest 3D events active right now as possible to make sure you have lots of things to do. (Also, the next part of the Sandsea Saga is up on the PTR for testing this weekend. Releasing next week!) See you in game and...
Egg Hunt on! Glisel, Artix, and the AdventureQuest 3D Team
No joke, Piddie the Fool just arrived in town. This disgruntled harlequin is peddling a man eating treasure chest that drops loot including his armor pieces, fools gold coins, and delicious... juice pack potions? (New from the makers of Mutatium!)
Live Events throughout the day on April 1st!
The AdventureQuest 3D team (and prominent members of the community) will be running mini-anything goes live events and dropping bonus chests throughout the day on April 1st. You have been warned. They will start at 9am EST, happen sporadically through the day, and end when I fall asleep from exhaustion at my keyboard.
New Juice Pack Potions "Smell the Rainbow!"
Try 4 new delicious flavor potions from the makers of Mutatium! You remember mutatium right? Those potions from last year that chaotically changed the size of everyone's body parts. Hordes of unsuspecting players thought the game was broken filling Player Support with bug tickets, " "OMG! Why does my character look weird!?" Either way you will be happy to know, we came up with far worse potion ideas!
All new delicious flavors!
Musical Fruit Juice Blended from savory beans, yogurt, kimchi ,eggnog, mustard-relish, prunes, pre-pro-post-biotics, and bran with our atomic ghost pepper hot sauce. 1000% more fiber than other leading brands.
Leafy Gang Green Potion Go green and leave your mark on the environment! Sustainably sourced 100% vegan concentrate. GMO free, dairy free, gluten free, and soy free. NOTE: Dairy, gluten, soy, and antidote sold separately as DLC content. Now made with real meat. Produced by EbilCorp.
Mountain Pew Energy Drank "Pew the pew!" Are you ready to be Xtreme!? Blow away your competition in a green sierra-sized mist! Do not give a thought to the scratched-off expiration date on this discount off-brand monstrous energy drink.
Skittal's Unicorn Juice - "Smell the rainbow!"
"Smell the rainbow!" Made with 100% organic sparkle fairy dust, magic lollipops, and pink-eye flavors. Not made with real Unicorns. Probably.
Fool's Gift
A Mimic is a monster that looks like a treasure chest but reveals its teeth and tries to eat you (or worse) when opened. Piddie the Fool is selling "The Fool's Gift" for 1,000 DragonCrystals. But this gift is really a mimic... a Fool's Gimic. Hahahaha..... although you will be delighted if someone spawns one near you. The Fool's Gimic always drops Fool's Gold Coins but has small chance of dropping juice pack potions, and a very small chance of dropping a pet, armor piece, or a special mystery item. Take your Fool's Gold Coins to Piddie to buy Fool's Day items.

Do YOU have an idea for a new flavor of potion?
Start brain storming. Tomorrow we will run a contest for new savory potion ideas XD Maybe you can score a Gimic prize or two.
The Sandsea saga has just begun in the town of Bastion
The level cap has raised to 32 and the new town of Bastion has opened in the Sandsea desert.
Valencia is waiting for you in Bastion with a lead on an artifact that may help to defeat Vane. Bastion is closely guarded from outsiders so equip your best level 31 gear and prove your worth to General Gaspar, the leader of the town guard. He has some ideas of how you can make yourself useful...
https://aq3d.com/news/thesandsea/
Travel to Bastion and Level Up to 32!
Talk to Scratch at the base of the bridge in Battleon to get to Bastion. You'll know him by his colorful Sandsea garb... and his feline features. If you aren't in Battleon, open your Adventure Menu to quick travel there. This area is for you level 31 players to level up! Now you can put all those experience points into leveling up to 32, the new level cap!
There is Something in the Water
No. Really. Something is poisoning the well water. Aveleon has created another challenging dungeon for your excursion down the well. You will encounter new monsters including sneks, beetles, and a poisonous water monster. Bring a friend.... and don't fall into the water.
Colorful Sandsea Clothes

His Armor and Outfit Shop has a light Star Hood and comfortable Foot Wraps for gold. Earn Bastion Bucks from Paul's daily quest by "Keeping the Aquifer Clean" and pick up Vials of Slimy Residue from the dungeon monsters. Take them to Paul's Crafting Shop to get various colorful armors and belts perfectly designed for the desert heat.
New in AdventureQuest 3D Version 1.68
The game just keeps getting better every week. The fan favorite feature of this release are the immersive NPC chat bubbles. See NPCs react to story-related changes in their environment and even talk smack during battle. This feature is only on some of the NPCs in Bastion and Battleon but we intend to give every NPC chat bubbles in the future.
New reconnect feature!
NPCs now have speech bubbles
Lootbag improvements
Quests are no longer level capped
Necromancer summons now work in PvP
Area of Effect telegraphs will now appear correctly
Tons of small, handy fixes too!
Coming next...
Wow! Thank you. It has felt really good seeing how much everyone is loving this new town and release. As I write this, the first players are already hitting level 32. This is just the appetizer... get ready for the desert. The Sandsea is our largest area in the game spanning pyramids, oases, and other treasure-filled locations. This next part of this new saga is scheduled to drop in 2 weeks. Because next week is one of our community's favorite (sorta-technically-a-holiday) Holidays, someone is creating a terrible new kind of potion.

Vampire King Drachus is back in a new daily boss fight! Earn pieces of his legendary armor. Of course, you will need to get through his swarms of bats, army of vampire guards, and blood golems first!
Craft Vampire Lord Armor
You asked for it and here it is! This is our FIRST FULL SET of armor added to a Daily Boss fight. You can earn all of the pieces of this leveled armor set and upgrade it from Uncommon to Epic rarity. The cloak is by far the most challenging piece to acquire. Alternatively, you can buy the cosmetic version of the Eternal King Drachus set for DragonCrystals.
King Drachus Set (Uncommon) <*> Dreaded Vampire Lord (Rare) <*> Undying Vampire Lord (Epic)
What is a Daily Boss Fight?
Gold Dragons, Cursed Pirates, NecroKnights, Lava Brakens, mysterious mind controlling creatures from beyond the known world.... each day a random daily boss fight is chosen. Each offers monsters and boss to earn special gear.
You can go to today's Daily Boss fight using the Adventure book in your main menu!
Talk to Count Mogula for the Crafting and Shop
The Daily Boss Fights change each day. Be sure to check for when this one appears. When it does, you will arrive in King Drachus's throne room and be able to talk to the adorably wicked Count Mogula to get access to the quest, crafting, and shop.
Also new this week in AdventureQuest 3D!
This week's release also included the "Big Unity Update" which upgraded all of the code, art, and items in the game to a newer version of Unity. It was a scary big upgrade. We do it once a year. If you spot any bugs or weirdness, please hit the report button and let us know. We also did a round of improvements on the intro of the game to help new players. The treasure filled Pyramids of the Sandsea desert is coming next. The first part of this new saga is going up on the PTR for testing this weekend. If all goes well, we will be heading to the cat-and-lizard-people filled town of Bastion next week.
A Wraithmancer enhances their magic by using energy from the spirits of whatever is around them. At the most basic level they can draw energy from spirit beings like wraiths, ghouls, ghosts, etc... but at the height of their power... a Wraithmancer can draw the life force out of living creatures if they so choose.
Look for Stabatha Heartless upstairs in the Tower of Necromancy lobby to begin your rank quests.

Take a Second Glance
There are rumors of the remains of lost necromancy staffs hidden in the tower. Each staff is famous for the horrific way in which their owner perished. Will you discover the fate of the lost staves of the Tower of Necromancy? Are you brave enough to wield one yourself?
